Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes Washington's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Washington caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:7, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a Child Development Associate (CDA). Teachers must complete 10 hours of annual training. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.

- Early Learning Providers Who Prepare or Serve Food to Children at an Early Learning Program Must Obtain a Current Food Worker Card Prior to Preparing or Serving…Serious: 110-300-0106(12)
0106(11), 0106(3) At the time of this inspection, licensor observed staff member A.M.P. was counted in staff-to-child-ratio and working unsupervised with 2 enrolled children in the preschool age "green room," as stated by lead teacher A.Y.M.C. who stepped out of the green room to supervise another preschool aged child who was dropped off during nap time in the "school age room." This was corrected onsite and A.Y.M.C. returned to the green room immediately when licensor stated that A.M.P. cannot be unsupervised with children without completing the required trainings, including Child Care Basics. Licensor observed in MERIT that staff member A.M.P. has not completed CPR and First Aid trainings, which are also required prior to being counted into ratio with enrolled children. No follow up correction is needed; TA provided to have A.M.P. complete necessary training requirements before working with children in ratio and/or unsupervised and to adjust their job role accordingly, as the licensee stated A.M.P.'s role is currently a cook and cleaning person. Page 2 of 4 Non-Compliances: This section of the Inspection Report lists non-compliances found during any licensing inspection. Information from this section will be reported to Child Care Check and can be used to determine current and future licensing and enforcement actions. 0106(12) Licensee stated that A.M.P. is responsible for meal preparation - Licensor observed this staff person does not have documentation of a completed food handler's permit in MERIT or onsite in their staff record.

At the time of this inspection, licensor observed the emergency exit door next to the bathrooms opposite the door leading to the playground in the preschool age "green room" was blocked with the use of a wall mounted barrier/gate made from solid wood and secured closed with a latch to prevent children from wandering into the next classroom unsupervised. TA provided on various options including classroom management strategies and/or an audible alarm that will help staff maintain supervision without blocking the emergency exit door.
